Some reviews…

Review: Wayside’s ‘Carol’ reimagines classic story
Northern Virginia Daily

The basics of Dickens’ tale are all there — crusty old Ebenezer, the ghosts, the flashbacks, the pitiable Cratchits and, of course, Tiny Tim — but Warner Crocker and Steve Przybylski have reimagined the story — trimming here, shifting focus there — to produce a tighter, fleeter production.

Clever staging, music at Wayside
Winchester Star

The clever staging, authentic costumes, and spirited acting combine for a fast-paced retelling of the story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge (played by William Diggle), who undergoes a radical transformation from the stingiest man alive to a generous loving benefactor. [full review]

Review of Always Patsy Cline

A good review of Always Patsy Cline from the Free Lance-Star out of Fredericksburg, MD:

To bring a talent like Cline back to life–especially minutes from Winchester, her hometown, where critics would be harshest–is a daunting task, but (Sara) Story steps up to the challenge. She deftly handles the sound and the mature, dignified feminine essence that Cline’s legacy brings to mind.
